Tuesday, from 20:00, Lyon will receive the Strasbourg visit in a match for the quarter-finals of the French League Cup. The game will take place at the “Parc Olympique Lyonnais” stadium in Lyon.
Yesterday’s economics of Lyon, 2-0 in front of the Bourges anonymous in the French Cup, should give us a thought to fight with Strasbourg. The boys of Bruno Genesio start out as a cannon in the new year, with three to three-day matches, true, against proper opponents. The next “hop” is Strasbourg, a band that has become honorable in the League Cup quarterfinals and currently occupies an impressive 7th place in Ligue 1. Indeed, Strasbourg impressed in the first part of the season, taking on the name with heavy names of France and being rewarded for open and efficient football, but the current situation does not promise us a spectacular scenario. Lyon will have another match for three days, this time in Ligue 1, against Reims, so Genesio does not think to force a gangway scenario against a difficult team. Applying to the busy schedule of the two combatants at this start of the calendar year, we think we will not see many goals in the match at “Olympique Lyonnais Park”.
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a relatively balanced deployment of hostilities. Not to gamble to the scenario of a host’s logical victory, we think it would be more appropriate to focus on the limited potential of this match, which should not provide more than three successes.
PREDICTION: Lyon to win @ 1.42
